I'm recently diagnosed type 2, 5'10 tall down to 93 KG from a high of 106 KG 18 months ago and 98 KG when diagnosed in February. 2 weeks ago the nurse wanted to put me on Metformin, that i have (for now) refused. In the last 2 weeks i have started a low carb diet (There is a lot to learn, but i think i'm getting the hang of it slowly) but my mmol/l on the meter i have managed to get from the nurse is averaging around 8.0 mmol/l if i eat really well and take my readings after the gym i can get a 7.2 mmol/l average.
I am wondering if this average is dangerous long term?
Should i go on the tablets,
Could i wait another 10 weeks for my HBA1C.
I know any replies will only be peoples valid opinions, but it would be great to here them.
